Beaumont Clean Ammonia: kickstarting low-emission ammonia as a liquid commodity
Article

In our December episode of Project Features, Woodside Energy joined us to discuss the Beaumont Clean Ammonia Project in the US Gulf Coast. 1.1 million tons per year of lower-carbon ammonia will be produced from 2026, targeting European import markets. The project bolsters Woodside’s existing and future energy commodity export plans, and sets them up as a first-mover in key global markets for low-emission ammonia.

RP Global: new ammonia mega-project in Argentina
Article

In the first stage of Project Gaucho, 3 GW of electrolysers will be powered by a 4.2 GW wind farm, leading to the production of up to 1.7 million tons of ammonia per year. RP Global and German development agency GIZ will develop the project, supported by an official German government program for ramping up the nascent hydrogen industry.

Namibia Green Industrialisation Blueprint
Article

We explore Namibia’s vision of a sprawling hydrogen ecosystem. The country plans to leverage its competitive wind and solar energy potential and strategic coastal location to produce electrolytic hydrogen and ammonia for the global market. We also highlight some of the key projects and partnerships already underway, and some key bottlenecks that must be overcome.

Woodside Energy: Early-mover advantage in the growing lower-carbon ammonia market
Webinar

Meet Woodside Energy to explore the new Beaumont Clean Ammonia Project. Located on the US Gulf Coast, phase one will have the capacity to produce 1.1 million tons per year of ammonia, utilizing gas feedstock. Lower-carbon ammonia production will start in 2026, when Linde will supply hydrogen feedstock to the facility with ExxonMobil to offtake the carbon dioxide associated with Linde’s hydrogen production for transportation and permanent sequestration.
